Although I love Halloween, I haven’t always done a lot of decorating for the spooky holiday. My idea of All Hallow’s Eve decor is to turn off the lights and set out a bunch of candles. Then I turn the TV onto the Halloween movie and watch Jamie Lee Curtis suffer through another night of torture. The mood for the evening of Tricks or Treats is set. But this year I decided to have a little fun and I created a DIY Boo sign for Halloween.
Sparkly BOO letters on script stamped canvases are super easy to make.
Let’s get started!
Get 3 small canvasses – I found a packet of 3 at the craft store. Grab your wooden BOO letters, black acrylic paint, and black glitter paint if you want some sparkle, a script stamp, stamping paint, a hot glue gun, and small wooden easels to rest the letters on when done (I forgot to include the little easels in the photo). You can find all these supplies at your local craft store.
I started by stamping the canvases with my script stamp – but you could do anything, really.
Paint ’em, decoupage ’em, or even leave them plain white.
Paint your letters, and add the glitter if you want some sparkle.
Then hot glue the letters onto the canvases when dried.
Then place your letters on the mini easels and set them out with your Halloween or Fall decor.
Quick and easy, which is my favorite kind of project!
I found these cute little pumpkin party bags to add a punch of orange.
This is a sneak peek at some of my Halloween decor.
I’ll reveal the rest next Friday the 17th when I join a group of bloggers to give you a Halloween tour!
How about you? What kind of Halloween decorating do you do?

Decorated paper mache boxes make cute storage units for a variety of things, from jewelry to sewing supplies and more. The boxes are fairly cheap and it’s easy to decorate them in vintage style.

The other day I saw a canvas bag that said “Farm Market” on it and I thought … why not create a similar bag for my monthly trips to our local flea market? The vendors always put your items into plastic grocery bags and I’m always afraid they’re going to rip while shopping. A canvas bag…

Since the kids are grown and have all flown the coop, we no longer dye eggs for Easter. I do love the speckled eggs you get at home decor stores, but sometimes they can be ridiculously expensive. A small bag can be $10 or more and I just can’t see paying that price for something…
Kids are back in school and my thoughts and creativity have turned to fall projects. Today I’m joining four blogging friends to bring you a collection of autumn DIY projects. Thanks to Taryn of Taryn Whiteaker Designs for organizing this crafty event. I’m sharing how to make a fall floral chandelier with beautiful silk flowers….
Slow but sure, room by room, my house is undergoing a transformation of sorts. Not a full-fledged remodeling assault … just a simple sprucing up. A fresh coat of paint here, a new rug there. Hubby is rolling his eyes thinking, “here we go again.” And so, without further ado … Hubby installed the molding (love him!)….
Cute unscary craft idea. Im not a Halloween decorator at all, and we have never had a trick -or-treater. I guess when you live in the sticks that’s what happens,
I LOVE IT!!!

Love this boo sign on canvas. The script stamping on the background is a great touch!
I agree quick and easy decorating is the way to go.
Where did you get your script stamp?
Hi Janice, I found the stamp at Hobby Lobby last year. I don’t know if they still carry it.
